Fort Hood

Dozens of families who lost loved ones during September 11, the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary and other attacks are trying to support victims of similar tragedies with a new fund whose first efforts will help Fort Hood victims.

The Fort Hood soldier who gunned down three other military men before killing himself had an argument with colleagues in his unit before opening fire, and investigators believe his mental condition was not the “direct precipitating factor” in the shooting, authorities said Friday.

The soldier who killed three people at Fort Hood may have argued with another service member prior to the attack, and investigators believe his unstable mental health contributed to the rampage, authorities said Thursday.

The impact of the deadly shooting at Fort Hood is carrying well outside the fences of the Army post. Retired soldiers in the Army town of Killeen told CBS 11 News that when Fort Hood hurts, the whole community hurts.
